Innovating for sustainable livelihoods

We are a social enterprise made up of established professionals and social innovators who believe in challenging how we create change in the world.

Our goal is to enable communities to build thriving village economies by securing safe livelihoods and ensuring that it is long lasting by building capacity to work collectively

We do this by using a market-based approach and working through the village nucleus, to support micro and small enterprises, facilitating activities at various levels, including training, financing and market support.

We have also launched a new book, HANDMADE: Stories worth telling through food worth sharing. More than just a cookbook, HANDMADE tells the stories of 34 women of Sri Lanka in the time of war. 100% of the profits will be reinvested into building thriving village economies in rural Sri Lanka.
